CFML converting evaluate() query string to structure syntax

Question

I have the code below inside of a loop so as the loop iterates I'm setting a dynamic variable temp to the value of the getAdvisor_Advisors.advisor_ID for the current loop iteration.

<cfset temp = "getAdvisor_Advisors#LoopCount#.advisor_ID">

This cfinvoke below calls a query that I pass in the dynamic "temp" variable but have to use the slow evaluate(temp) around it to get the proper value.

<cfinvoke component="com.appointments" method="get_All_Appointments" returnvariable="getAppointments">
      <cfinvokeargument name="Advisor_ID" value="#evaluate(temp)#">
      <cfinvokeargument name="StartDay" value="#dateFormat(form.cal,'dd')#">
      <cfinvokeargument name="StartMonth" value="#dateFormat(form.cal,'mm')#">
      <cfinvokeargument name="StartYear" value="#dateformat(form.cal,'yyyy')#">             
</cfinvoke>

I'm wanting to rewrite the temp variable and evaluate() to not use evaluate. I'm told I can use the structure syntax to reference it sort of like the following:

Without evaluate:

<cfset foo = qBar["text#lang#"][CurrentRow]>
getAdvisor_Advisor["advisor_ID"][CurrentRow]

How do I rewrite

<cfset temp = "getAdvisor_Advisors#LoopCount#.advisor_ID">

using structure syntax?

Adding more of the code so you can see why this is complicated these are compound loops.

Answer 1

To answer the question, you can use QueryToStruct. Set an array with each index being a structure of the query.

<!--- CREATE THE ARRAY --->
<cfset temp = arrayNew(1)>

<cfquery name="getAdvisor_Advisors1" dbtype="query" cachedWithin="#CreateTimeSpan(0,0,15,0)#">
    Select *
    rom getAdvisors
    Where Express = 'FR/SO' 
    Order by Specialization, Advisor
</cfquery>

<!--- CREATE AND FILL THE STRUCT --->
<cfset temp[1] = QueryToStruct(getAdvisor_Advisors1)>

Then later you can loop over that array temp and output the values.

<cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(temp)#" index="t">
    ...
    <cfinvokeargument name="Advisor_ID" value="#temp[t].advisor_ID#">
    ...
</cfloop>

Here is a screenshot of it working:

Original answer: Why not use the query for the cfloop, or cfoutput? Then it's trivial:

<cfloop query = "getAdvisor_Advisor">
<cfinvoke component="com.appointments" method="get_All_Appointments" returnvariable="getAppointments">
      <cfinvokeargument name="Advisor_ID" value="#getAdvisor_Advisors.advisor_ID#">
      <cfinvokeargument name="StartDay" value="#dateFormat(form.cal,'dd')#">
      <cfinvokeargument name="StartMonth" value="#dateFormat(form.cal,'mm')#">
      <cfinvokeargument name="StartYear" value="#dateformat(form.cal,'yyyy')#">             
</cfinvoke>
</cfloop>

Answer 2

Your current approach is more complicated than necessary and you have too much going on inside your loop. Start with the things that don't change with each loop iteration.

myObject = CreateObject("component","com.appointments");
argumentStructure = StructNew();
argumentStructure.StartDay= dateFormat(form.cal,'dd');
argumentStructure.StartMonth= dateFormat(form.cal,'mm');
argumentStructure.StartYear = dateFormat(form.cal,'yyyy');
</cfscript>

Then do your loop.

<cfloop query = "getAdvisor_Advisor">
<cfscript>
argumentStructure.advisor_ID = advisor_ID;
variableFromObject = myObject.get_All_Appointments(argumentCollection = argumentStructure);
//  code to process that variable
</cfscript>
</cfloop>

Note that the question has no information about what the method is returning. That particular detail could affect the last part of the answer.
